i read this and applauded sony, its more of they cant win and compatability issues rather then them actually stopping people from copying/sharing music.

also to note:
Last month Sony announced that its own portable audio players, which will soon go on sale in Europe, will be able to use any MP3 files. Previously, Sony's players only handled MP3 files that were converted into the company's own format.
*double standards are seen.
btw cd sales continue to rise.....
